Ask your dealer for a quote and it will be $900+ for parts plus fitting!
Go to Just For Jeeps .com and they will land them at your door for $273 direct from the US.
We have customers expecting them on their new Grand Cherokee too!
The 2011 has them standard.

The 2012 we get does have a 30mm eye bolt packed beside the spare that apparently can be fitted and used as a towing hook.
The 2011 tow hooks available (so far) in the US won't fit straight up to the 2012 as the steel profile in the front member on the 2012 has been changed. Holes in the 2011 that were used to position the hook are no longer there. Check out Marc Hillman's link posted above.
So far on the WK2 forums around there isn't any information (that I have seen) regarding anyone who has successfully fitted recovery hooks to a 2012.
